[RT] BB or BS need help please

I just started to play again after 10 years so I have forgotten alot what do you think I should make not haveing much zeny and new....stats, skills, gear ,pros,cons a link to a build would be nice I cant seem to find anything online any help would be greatly appreciated

by looking at the BB vs BS analysis again that i posted in other thread
 

So far,

 

Brandish

- is ranged attack skill. So earth deleter won't work
- hunter fly/archer skeleton works for this skill (Edited)

- 2 cell knockback effect still works

- damage is 1400% PLUS STR stats effect. So 9x STR stats helps greatly for this skill

- Focus on SVD build

- Unlike BB, Brandish surely deals 1400% DMG to monsters regardless of number of its mobs. But will lose to BB if BB is used on 4 and more monsters.

- When riding peco, spear deals 100% damage to ALL size

 

BB

- Melee.

- damage analysis

 

1 monster: 2 hit (500% x 2 = 1000%) to 1 monster

2 monsters: 3 hits (500% x 3 = 1500%) to 2 monsters

3 monsters: 3 hits (500% x 3 = 1500%) to 3 monsters

4 and more monsters: 4 hits (500% x 4 = 2000%) to 4 and more monsters

 So in order to maximize the damage, you need to mob AT LEAST 4 monsters to inflict that 2000% damage. But mobbing 2 monsters already inflicts 1500%
 

- since it relies on two hand swords for multiple hits to work. So AGI Build still suits with Two hand quicken buff that increase CRIT and HIT.

- knockback effect is more than 2 cells.. so it's kinda pain in the ass when you need to walk and loot from dead monsters far from you.
- Since relies on two hand sword, only deals 100% damage to large size monsters. 75% to small and medium

Both Brandish + BB can be endowed.

Edited: Tested my BB skill in orc dungeon earlier.

 

Yes, you can't find any guide online because in RO T, there's ENCHANTS on armor (chainmail,coat) and weapons. This makes ROT completely different than any other RO servers out there.

I started as Agi BB knight earlier then i reset my knight to BS SVD build.

It's pretty much easier to start as Agi BB. As BB requires two hand quicken skills, it's much suited to play as AGI build at early game. AGI build = more flee = more survivabilty and more ASPD that can solo monster effectively and prevents you not to waste too much pots.

For BS spear build, since the build relies heavily on spear skills, it's not suited to use AGI build since they can't use Two-Hand Quicken to raise their ASPD.. Therefore, spear knights usually tank damage and requires expensive funds to buy equipments and they are much harder to level up alone unless using dual priest.

I can give you some tips how to build both BB and BS build


A) BB Knight Build


Stats (ASPD build)

80-90 AGI (or until your ASPD is reaches 188-190)
50-60 STR
70+ DEX for hit
rest VIT/LUK/INT for sp regen

^The above ASPD build is good for solo, but if someone wants to use pure BB+tank mobs and ready spend some pots:

Stats (Pure BB tank build)
80-90 STR
50-60 VIT
70+ DEX for hit
rest INT for more SP regen

Early equipment for ASPD build earlier as swordman/low lv knight:

Hair brush/Sakkat
Pantie undershirt set
Elemental claymore (preferably fire when you level up at bigfoot / orcs / hode / petite / zombie prisoner)
Any shoes / Slotted sandal (chonchon)
2x rosary/marty leash


Intermediate  equipment for BB build and focus more on SP (more SP regen = saves you more pots as you'll be spending more SP points for BB)

Cap (Willow)
40-50 Sp recov chain mail/coat (Roda frog)
Two-Handed Sword with Atk/flee/hit enchant + racialatk% (zipper/mummy)
Muffler/Manteau (Whisper/Harpy)
Shoes/Boots (Sohee)
2x unslotted Brooch / Clip(creamy)

Endgame equipment for BB build

Helm (Incubus/carat if +9)
Fin helm + cain
45-50 SP recov chain mail + Def//neutral resist (Succubus/Peco). [If you use earth deleter card, use other enchant than SP recov]

Two hand sword with HIGH atk/flee/hit enchant and 20%+ racial (zipper/mummy)

+9Manteau (orcbaby/nine tails)

+9Boots / Greaves (antique firelock/Eggyra)

2x brooch/ring (kukre/mantis / spring rabbit with monster's feed for hp healing)

 

====

For brandish spear knight build

B ] BS knight build

Stats:

9x STR
50-60 VIT
8x DEX for hit

Rest INT for SP Regen

(Some wanting to have high VIT by sacrificing abit of DEX... but depending on where you level.. HIT rate is needed especially when you mob at Raydric/Geffenia/Magma)

 

For equipments for early levels and intermediate is quite the same as BB knight but here's the endgame equipment that you can think of:

 

Helm/Marionette doll (Incubus / Carat if headie is +9)

Evil Ear wings / Fin helm + Iron Cain

SP 45-50 recov chain + Def/neutral resist (Succubus/Peco) [Don't use Earth Deleter card because Brandish is ranged atk]

Pike w HIGH atk enchant +11-15% racial (archer skel/zipper/mummy)
Shield (racial resist)
Manteau (raydric)

+9 Boots/Greaves (Antique Firelock/Eggyra)
2x ring (Mantis / spring rabbit with monster's feed for hp healing)

 

I recommend not to use 2H spears because you need to have shield for tanking. Otherwise, if you willing to use 2h spear for more DPS, Find a good enchants of Trident with 3 slots.

====================
Levelling

1-10: Training Grounds

Hope this helps and correct me if there's anything that can be improved.
P/S: These information i compiled based on what i've seen from RO T youtubers and opinions posted in social media. Currently I'm still farming to find endgame equipments for my BS spear knight

Oof, that much dex really?

Was kinda hoping to have more vit than that, which would come from dex of course.

I kind of suspected I would need more dex than I was hoping for though, using a glaive with something like +32 hit and I still don't have 100% hit rate on those damn steel chonchons in the zombie orc cave.

 

Seals have been good to me while I leveled up BS to 10 though.

Yes it all depends on how much HIT you have. Some want 30 HIT enchant weapons and they dont want to invest that DEX into their stats. While some who are using atk enchants have to use mummy cards into their slot or if they want more damage % cards, they are putting high DEX stats instead.

High level monsters have high flee. Ugh,the irony of renewal mechanics..
